Rome if You Want To: April 2012
http://romeifyouwanttoo.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. A lot can happen a year. A year ago, I was only 25. A year ago, I was trying to decide if I was totally crazy to quit my jobs and move to Italy. A year ago, I was hanging out with these fun people. This was her house a week after the tornado hit. Who knows what this next year will bring, but I do know one thing for sure: God is faithful. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. What we take for granted. In no particular order. 3 Pure Vanilla Extract. 5 Target and Walmart. 9 Whole Grain Bread.

Bilbo's Birthday: April 2012
http://bilbosbirthday.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. I've neglected the blog for way too long. To get me rolling again here's what I've been reading since last time I checked in:. J I Packer and Gary Parrett, Grounded in the Gospel: Building Believers the Old-Fashioned Way. Pretty good argument for the reclamation of catechesis as an essential part of the church's ministry. The section on training in the way, the truth, and the life was particularly helpful. Handley C. G. Moule, Charles Simeon. J R R Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings.

Rome if You Want To: November 2011
http://romeifyouwanttoo.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 24, 2011. I turned 26 this past week. Boy do I feel far behind in life considering I am living in Rome, and I am a nanny. I am sure my parents love seeing the money they spent on my college education going so far. Who would have thought I would celebrate my 26th birthday in Rome? That brings me to Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving! This Thanksgiving I am thankful for many things. 1 My family back home whom I love and miss! 2 My friends back home whom I love and miss! 15 Eating two Thank...

Sunday, January 8, 2012. Il Coccodrillo Come Fa? Well, the Holidays are over, so we are back to real life here in Italy. For me, this is actually great! I will be having a whole lot more time since I will no longer be in Italian class. This means I can catch up on blogging, reading, applying to graduated schools, writing postcards to friends, and wandering around Rome! In the meantime, please enjoy the following video. Il Coccodrillo Come Fa? Monday, January 2, 2012. I spent the first part of the Christm...

Rome if You Want To: October 2011
http://romeifyouwanttoo.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. I am currently in the middle of writing a long post on religion (or lack there of) in Rome, but in the meantime, I thought I would share a few pictures from the past week. I don't know, but apparently they are looking for him in Italy as well. Guess I did not need to bring my own Usborne Sticker Dolly books for the girls. They can just get them at the bookstore here! The entrance to Berlusconi's house. Just one of the many lovely churches in Rome! The Colosseo at night = Amazing!

Rome if You Want To: L'Estate a Roma
http://romeifyouwanttoo.blogspot.com/2012/07/lestate-roma.html
Friday, July 6, 2012. Is how we say summer in Italian. We also use the word. Means hot. And summer in Rome is. Caldo, caldo, caldo. Especially without air conditioning. I have been sweating, day and night, for a month. Sometimes I wonder why I even shower, because after I do, I just start sweating again, but this is beside the point. The point is that Rome is hot in the summer, and we Romans do a lot of things to beat the heat. These are as follows:. A go to the beach. B eat gelato or granita. I think we...

Rome if You Want To: July 2012
http://romeifyouwanttoo.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 28, 2012. This past month I've. Been peed on by Giulio. Eaten an egg that a hen laid a few hours earlier. Been thrown up on by Giulio. Eaten a 4 euro Pizza Margarita at a pizzeria by myself in Napoli while the waiters and cook kept coming over to make sure I was okay because I was by myself. Had about 18 Caffe Freddi. While sitting on a beach staring at Mt. Vesuvius. Had my bikini bottoms pulled down by a child I did not know. Picked peaches, plums, and lemons off trees in our backyard.

Rome if You Want To: Who doesn't love a good picnic
http://romeifyouwanttoo.blogspot.com/2012/05/who-doesnt-love-good-picnic.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Who doesn't love a good picnic. New favorite thing.picnics! As soon as spring descended on Rome, picnics became an essential part of my Roman life. Whether it is the middle of the afternoon on a tuesday and you have gelato on the hill by the Colosseum, or you pack a huge picnic lunch with friends and head out to the Appia Antica to celebrate Pasquetta with a picnic, eating outside is the way to go in Rome in the spring. Here are some of the highlights from some picnic adventures!
